eBay is GREAT

Just thought I'd share this, I'm pretty excited about it.....(lame, I know).

So, I was searching through eBay the other day like I always do, and I come across a guy selling a car cover for a Camaro. I've been looking for one since my car sits outside ALL day & night, and when I looked at the pics for this auction, it looked like it might be the one that SLP made for the SS (which run around $150 new). I look at the price - $10 buy it now! I'm not sure if the guy made a mistake on the auction or what, but I clicked to buy it. So, add $10 for shipping - $20 for any car cover is a good price.

I got it in the mail today, and lo' and behold, its the SLP one. Came with the custom SS carrying bag, line lock thingy and all. Now I can wash my car and not have bird sh*t on it the very next day!

No, car bras are a paint's worse enemy. Car covers are fine as long as you dont cheep out and get the $30 ones from Pepboys.

No, any car cover that fits tight hurts the paint.

if you ever come across one again, tell me! I really, really, really need a cover for my car. Especially after the repaint.

I just put it on tonight, fits the car like a glove. The only thing I don't like about it is the fact I have to remove my antenna. I hope it doesn't hurt the paint, it seemed pretty soft on the inside.....guess we'll see.

This is the guy's eBay username - marshalloffire, but from what I gathered on the item description, he was just selling the cover that came with his SS, I doubt he has any more (especially @ $10, heh).
